Chapter 1 : Change of stategy
10 minutes after the game Scott finally entered the boys locker room. It truly was annoying trying to not use his wolf powers to play lacrosse. Scott had lost a bet against Stiles and "not using awesome wolf powers in games" was his punishment (healing abilities were exempted). Who knew Stiles super secret power (other than his brain) was stuffing a large basket of curly fries in his mouth? Apparently Scott didn't...
Scott needed a vacation after the year they had just had. One after another the Alphas had challenged Derek and Scott and they just barely scraped a victory each time. Lately they haven’t seen any of the remaining Alphas and the silence has been driving Derek mad. Which of course meant that he focused all his aggression on refining his super ninja sneaking technique. The main test target just happened to be Scott.
"Scott."
Scott wolfed out and quickly turned around to see Derek casually leaning against the lockers behind him.
"Fu- I swear Derek the next time you do that I will hurt you." Scott growled and tried to calm him self.
"Aww did I scare the lil' puppy." That was Derek's latest nickname for Scott and annoyingly enough Stiles was starting to use it to tease him too.
"What do you want Derek?" Scott sighed and turned back to his locker.
"I want to know what this is." Derek fiddled with his phone and Stiles nervous voice filled the empty locker room.
"Hey! Derek! Ummm congratulations on finally manning up to your feelings for Scott and just so you know if you hurt him, alpha wolf or not, I WILL kill you… As if you already don’t know enough about him cuz dude you freakin stalk him but if you still need any help like to know what's his favourite food and stuff just give me a call k? Once again congrats and good luck!"
Scott stared at the phone then looked up at Derek "What the hell is this?"
"That’s my question. What the hell is that?" Derek waited a minute but apparently no answer was forthcoming. Sighing Derek asked "Where is Stiles?"
"He got a call from the hospital that his dad was hurt during a robbery so he should either be there or at home." Scott replied. "Let me get dressed and then we will go see him."
Giving Scott a quick nod Derek walked out of the locker to go wait by his car.
========================================
Stiles dad had received a minor cut on his arm from the robber's knife so the hospital had patched him up, gave him some pain pills and discharged him. Stiles being the over protective son had quickly dragged his dad back home to bundle him up in this bed and tried feed him chicken noodle soup.
"Stiles! I am fine! I am not sick. Its just a minor cut it will heal." Stiles' dad said slowly.
Stiles too a deep breath and slowly let it out. He sat down on his dad's bed and hugged him. "I'm glad your are ok dad."
The Sheriff patted his son's back and smiled. As the hug ended he ruffled Stiles' hair "How about we order some pizza or something?"
"No! your cholesterol is high enough as it is! I am making you some salad." Stiles got up and started to leave the room.
"Come on! I just got stabbed!" Sheriff protested.
"'I am fine' those were your words dad." Stiles smirked and proceeded to cackle as he walked down the hall.
"But I wanted pizza." The sheriff pouted but then smiled. He considered him self lucky to have such a good son.
====
Derek and Scott awkwardly stood outside the Stilinski house . Well it was more Derek standing awkwardly because to Scott this was a second home.
Scott knocked loudly and heard Stiles walk to the door.
The door opened to reveal a shocked Stiles. "Well that was fast," he mumbled.
"What was fast?"
"How is your dad?"
Derek and Scott spoke at the same time then glared at each other.
"Let me talk," Scott said and turned back to Stiles. "How is your dad?"
"Ummm he is fine, just resting in his room. So...you two…" Stiles trailed off as he looked between Derek and Scott.
"You have some explaining to do." Derek growled and marched past Stiles and Scott in to the living room.
"Ya of course walk right in," Stiles mumbled as Derek entered the living room. Stiles then turned to look at Scott and asked "You coming?"
"Ya sure. We really need to talk." Scott entered the house and followed Derek to the living room.
As soon as Stiles entered the living room Derek fixed his glare on him "What the hell is up with the message you left me and I do not stalk Scott!"
"Ya you do," was the immediate response from both Scott and Stiles.
"Besides what I said is true you have finally manned up and accepted your feeling now if Scott would do the same." Stiles continued and received a glare from Scott for his efforts. "Just so you know flowers are not the best way even if they are giant bouquets. Scott prefers food or umm awesome movies or Oh better yet tickets to-"
"Stiles, shut up! What flowers? I haven't sent anyone flowers!" Derek turned to Scott and asked "I sent you flowers?"
"No you didn't, Kyle did. Stiles just assumed they were from you." Scott clarified.
Kyle was one of the alphas who had previously challenged them. He was one of the few who Derek let live on Scott's request. He wasn't a bad guy, kind of dim and bulky but not a bad person. He was also the sole heir to the Rousse's fortune.
Derek smirked at Scott "Is that why you let him live? Because you have a crush on him?"
"No, I let him live because he is a nice person. He protected Lydia from the others during the full moon remember? Besides he is not my type." After hearing the last part Derek's eyebrows shot to his hairline.
"Wait, Kyle sent you the flowers?! Why the hell didn't you tell me this before? Oh god and I left that message…" Stiles looked at Derek like a mouse who just saw the cat. He wanted to scurry away like one too but stood his ground. " You are not gonna kill me right?"
Derek slowly walked to wards Stiles and leaned in to whisper "Not yet."
"Derek back off," Scott said. Derek turned and smirked at him "Why McCall? Jealous?"
Derek's smirk melted into a frown he believed it was time to tell them what he thought was happening. "So I guess I should tell you that it is not just you who is getting gifts…"
Stiles scrunched up his nose "You are getting gifts too? Why?"
That earned him another glare from Derek and an silent laugh from Scott.
"Why do you think?" Derek glared at Stiles then turned to look at Scott trying to make him understand what he was hinting at. "Since they couldn't beat us they want to join us and the best way to join two packs is if the two alpha's of said packs becoming mates."
"Wai- wha- ugh- but- I am not gay!" Scott said scandalized. "Besides aren't you the alpha? Shouldn't they be after you?"
"Actually, Its no surprise they are coming after you too. You and Derek don’t behave as Alpha and pack member you guys behave like allies." Stiles explained "And if they have access to one of you then they can easily gain access to the other."
Scott slowly nodded as an agreement to what Stiles said then turned to Derek "Who is sending you gifts?"
"Myra and Phillip. By the way be glad that Myra didn't chose you. That girl is...odd. She keeps sending me
baskets of mushrooms…" Derek looked like he was about to throw up while Stiles and Scott tried not to laugh at his misery.
"Don’t worry you and Phillip make a cute couple," Scott laughed. "Ya just like you and Kyle," that shut Scott up quickly and now Derek and Scott were glaring each other.
Stiles mentally rolled his eyes and said "Why don’t you say you have someone and tell them to back off? And if it comes to it fake date some one."
Derek growled and immediately said "No."
"Right I forgot. Trust issues." Stiles then turned to Scott.
"If I fake date or actually date anyone they might harm them." Scott looked sad for a moment like he was remembering Allison.
"Ok hear me out, don’t interrupt, and please don’t kill me for this." Stiles looked at both the werewolves and continued. "Why don’t you two fake date each other? Derek has been stalking you for a while now ('I am not stalking him' Derek protested in the background) and you both have started working together a lot too. You can say that Derek has been trying to court you for a while now and you guys finally have reached a point where you, Scott, feel comfortable dating him. This way no one else will be harmed and the other werewolves will leave you two alone."
"That’s the better option," Derek nodded once at Stiles agreeing to the plan.
"What's the other option?" Scott asked
"Kill them," Derek shrugged.
Scott winced then said "I will go with option one then."
"Good! Problem solved! Now I want to sleep so please leave." Stiles jumped out of his seat but quickly planted him self back when he saw the glare Derek was giving him. "Or you know I could stay up a bit longer."
"No we should leave. I need time to digest all of this," Scott got up and started to walk towards the door. Derek quickly follow suit and with a quiet good bye they left.
Stiles quietly made his way to his bed room after quickly checking on his dad who was busy watching football. Once his room Stiles let a grin that had been trying to come out all evening take over his face. He knew Derek was a goner. He had fallen for Scott long ago, it was Scott's turn now to realize that he liked Derek back.
